years later, president obama's first bill that he signed was the lilly ledbetter. again, talking about women in the workplace, families in the workplace. and at his inaugural, he declared in his stiring address, our journey is not complete until our wives, mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. this isn't just about women, but about families and men, too, who have taken family medical leave for the good of their families. so here we are to celebrate -- how could it be 20 years later? we'll hear from george miller, who is really a champion in that effort at the time and from some of our other colleagues to address the issue. but our very special important guests will tell us their real leave experiences. i don't know what george is going to say, but i know i want him to say we want family and medical leave paid. are you going to talk about that?
